Wow this was such an emotional drama and so amazingly well acted. Both the MLs were amazing in their roles and I ended up being really sad this was only 10 episodes though that may be part of its charm since nothing felt too repetitive and too much filler. I loved Sang-gu's arc and the way the actor for Geu-ru portrayed his character. Esp in the last episode I cried so much. It's definitely a tear jerker the kind that sometimes has you cursing humanity and other times seeing the hope in people.
Pretty solid drama with great acting, as expected from Ji Sung but surprised by the actors of sun ah and ga on.…
I really enjoyed Sun Ah's character but when she killed that guy by pressing the button she lost any sympathy I had. I'm glad she realised she had become a monster that was basically supporting real evil in the world in the end and kills herself.
As for people saying the ending was a little disheartening because nothing changed - that's actually how real life work would work. That was the point of the show, that Yo Han's "shortcut to justice" doesn't make lasting change. It only gets rid of trash to be replaced by new trash. The show, I believe was trying to show- you have to be more like Ga On and Oh Jin Joo to make changes in your corner of the world for it to slowly become better.
Pretty solid drama with great acting, as expected from Ji Sung but surprised by the actors of sun ah and ga on. They were really surprisingly good. The story itself can sometimes veer a little into a little OTT but mostly is pretty good. Also the "dystopian" aspect of the drama was really not, it really is basically the reality we live in currently. That felt like a way to shield the show from criticism from too patriotic individuals.
What was interesting as a viewer is wondering what you would vote for in a show like that. Could you vote to give someone a brutal death penalty? Would you be ok with the idea of flogging publicly? It really speaks a lot about Mob mentality and what values we prescribe to as individuals vs mobs.
Definitely a drama I recommend watching for the acting and amazing reversals by the main characters.
Cute healing kind of drama but felt too much of a filler halfway through before getting its footing back towards the end. I think this drama would have been great with 12/13 episodes instead of 16. This isn't really a binge drama, it is more to be watched slowly with breaks.
I am a huge Shin Min Ah fan, but I found her acting to be a little stiff in some of the more emotional scenes. It made it difficult to get completely engrossed in the character. Seon Ho however made up for those scenes with his big watery eyes. They did have good chemistry with each other and the dimples were an overload of cuteness.
The feel this drama gives is one of being embraced by a community of loving neighbors. You really miss the small town feels watching a drama like this. All the secondary characters were great, I love the kids and the actress who played Bora's mom was also a standout when the story focused on her.
Straightforward but gritty story that is brought to life with an amazing cast, OST and directing. I binged it, with 8 episodes there was no time for boring fillers and pointless characters. This is my first time watching So Hee and she can ACT. Like really pull the viewers into her world and not let go act. Her and Park Hee Soon are so amazing in this together and their chemistry is great as mentor-mentee.
Also special mention to actor Jang Yeol, I haven't been so disgusted in a character like I was with his for a while. He played a disturbed smiling psycho so well.
The martial arts director of this should be given an award. The fight scenes were so beautifully choreographed and shot, they were a joy to watch. You can tell how much thought went into them and how hard the actors/stunt doubles worked in this drama. Rarely on small screen can you see such a great action drama.
Eh totally underwhelming not worth your time kinda drama. For 6 episodes nothing really happens and I couldn't understand why the ML likes the FL apart from the fact that she has no time for him?? She keeps apologizing, he keep accepting her apologies is never angry or upset and that's basically all that happens in the 6 episodes. Why did they even waste money to make this?
So I always thought Kawaii = cute but this drama convinced med Kawaii= stupid because that has to be what they mean given how Risa acts. It's a leave your brains at the door kinda drama to watch inbetween dramas. Super super cringey, no real story and just tons of skinship.
I would have at least liked it more if the FL didn't seem like she was trying to escape in every single kiss/bed scene. She really looked like she did not want to be there.
I gave this a try and it really wasn't that bad. Yeah I wouldn't say it's the best drama I have watched but it was completely bingeable, and the leads had great chemistry together, although I do agree that the side characters were deplorable. It was, over all ,what you would expect from a cliched romantic drama, and sometimes that's all you want.
I think Kame was really great in this, esp in the second half of the drama, his emotions came out even stronger. The FL was ok but I couldn't get over her affair so I couldn't 100% root for her, even though there were times I was like omg stand up for yourself woman.
A great watch and the main leads have such amazing chemistry together. Even though I am not a fan of desserts with red beans every single piece presented in the show was so delicate and beautiful, I just wanted to try some!
Good story, great acting, amazing chemistry and beautiful kimonos and desserts, makes this probably one of the best j-dramas I have watched in a long time.
This was such an adorable show with such a good message. Everyone acted really well and it didn't have any time…
The leads were so cute together (although they did fall too quickly for each other for my liking). And the ending could have been a little better, even in the special I would have preferred more time for the leads to be together rather than just a recap of the 3 years.
This was such an adorable show with such a good message. Everyone acted really well and it didn't have any time wasting filler scenes. It was a joy to watch. The main leads had great chemistry, the story was good and the FL was adorable but strong. I swear only jdramas can pull off cute and adorable but still strong and passionate female leads. Definitely recommend.

Highly highly recommend this one.

Also the OST was great, I love the epic BGM.
